An individual’s susceptibility to atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is influenced by numerous clinical and lifestyle factors, motivating the multifaceted approaches that are currently endorsed for primary and secondary ASCVD prevention. With growing knowledge of the genetic basis of ASCVD – in particular, coronary artery disease (CAD) – and its contribution to disease risk, there is increased interest in understanding the potential clinical utility of a genetic predictor that might further refine the assessment and management of ASCVD risk. Rapid scientific and technological advances have enabled widespread genotyping efforts and dynamic research in the field of CAD genetic risk prediction. In this review, we describe how genomic analyses of CAD have been leveraged to create polygenic risk scores (PRS). We then discuss evaluations of the clinical utility of these scores, pertinent mechanistic insights gleaned, and practical considerations relevant to PRS implementation in the health care setting.
